The Mysterious Mr. Wong (1934)


Monogram Pictures
Directed by William Nigh
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Roan Group)

Bela Lugosi plays an oriental man who is after the 12 coins of Confucius, which will give him some kind of supernatural power. He gets the first 11 in the first few minutes of the film by committing a string of murders, but spends the rest of it trying to get the 12th. An intrepid newspaperman is hot on his trail for the story, with frequent diversions to woo pretty Arline Judge.
